Overall Satisfaction with Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)
[Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] is a device management solution. We are using this company wide for our endpoints. The primary benefit of this solution are Inventory, patch management, and software deployment. Inventory collection with this tool is a significant amount of granular data. This helps drive decision making and metrics of success. Patch Management is a critical security feature that many companies overlook. Microsoft updates are not enough to protect your endpoints, and [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] natively patches many third-party applications. This may not seem that important since many applications now are able to auto-update. Unfortunately sometimes Chrome, Firefox or an AV solution stop auto-updating, and you have some devices with a vulnerable software and a known exploit in your environment. [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] is that tool to automate remediation of that before it is a problem. Software deployment is also a core component. Sometimes you need to rollout a security solution or a critical business application, and it need to be done fast. Any application type can be deployed with [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)], and [there] are even multiple methods of deployment such as batch, powershell and VB scripts.

- Cloud-based replacement to on-prem
- Positive: improved inventory
- Positive: improved device security and compliance
- Negative: requires higher skilled engineers to effectively administer
Better in most all categories. On-prem was not an issue for my organization. MS SCCM was lacking features. Airwatch required increasing tiers of service in order to match [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] features, and lacked the robust inventory data we needed. Meraki was very simple to use, but did not meet our needs. I would say that most Airwatch customers aren't using all the features they are paying for, and could save lots of money by using Meraki instead.
